People do fasts for many reason. Some people fast during certain times of the year because Jesus did. Others also do it for religious reasons. Many people fast for dieting reasons as well.

Is water in fasting is permited?

There are several kinds of fasts---I am basing my answer upon the Bible's accounts of fasting. There's anything from the Daniel fast where he didn't eat sweets, meat or wine, but basically just ate veggies, and then there are fasts where nothing is eaten or drank (Esther, Moses, Jesus, etc.). I think it's whatever you are "led" to do or what you are medically able to do. I have done fasts where I just drank fruit juice, & it had the desired affect for what I was seeking for (spiritually). There are even "fasts" that have nothing to do with food. People fast things that deprive their flesh: TV, make up, internet, etc.
